The shower pictured shows what careful setting out does. Large marble effect tiles run in one direction, the joints line up across the walls and floor, and the valve sits neatly within a single tile. That is planned, not luck.
Walls in older Belfast houses are rarely straight. We board, level and tank them before tiling so large format tiles sit flat.

Questions about tiling
Do you tile over old tiles?
We prefer not to. Stripping back gives a flatter, longer lasting finish.
Can you tile a whole bathroom floor to ceiling?
Yes, and we plan the setting out so cuts fall where you won't see them.
Do you supply tiles?
We can, or fit tiles you've chosen.
